Sean Reid on Luminous Landscape's review said that the sensor/camera seems to be very "neutral," in that it shosw basically whatever the lens delivers. I concur with the assessment. I posted this a few days ago and the lens used in fact is the 50 ASPH *** Not sure if it really shows anything, but the pictures here: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3035 are taking using the same lens on the M7 and the R-D1. The M7 I used Provia100F pushed to ASA400 (I was using the film for other purposes where I needed ASA400) but I think the development is slightly off so the pictures are more "dense." The colorings, believe it or not, are fairly accurate in both cases - in the bright sun, it's lighter and brighter. In the shade, it's richer and darker. To me, the slides have more details, but may be I am just kidding myself as these slides are scanned only at about 4 Megapixel resolution. When I do printing, I rescan them at 4000 DPI. *** At 01:48 PM 12/9/2004, William G.
